This book examines the power transition between the US and China, and the implications for Europe and Asia in a new era of uncertainty.

The volume addresses the impact that the rise of China has on the United States, Europe, transatlantic relations, and East Asia. China is seeking to use its enhanced power position to promote new ambitions; the United States is adjusting to a new superpower rivalry; and the power shift from the West to the East is resulting in a more peripheral role for Europe in world affairs. Featuring essays by prominent Chinese and international experts, the book examines the US–China rivalry, the changing international system, grand strategies and geopolitics, foreign policy, geo-economics and institutions, and military and technological developments. The chapters examine how strategic, security, and military considerations in this triangular relationship are gradually undermining trade and economics, reversing the era of globalization, and contributing to the breakdown of the US-led liberal order and institutions that will be difficult to rebuild. The volume also examines whether the adversarial antagonism in US–China relations, the tension in transatlantic ties, and the increasing rivalry in Europe–China relations are primarily resulting from leaders’ ambitions or structural power shifts.

This book will be of much interest to students of Asian security, US foreign policy, European politics, and International Relations in general.

Reviews for US–China Foreign Relations: Power Transition and its Implications for Europe and Asia

'Distinguished authors from the United States, China, and Europe address the implications of China's growing power not only for great power politics in East Asia but also for European security and economic affairs. The volume is especially important for its analyses of China's growing economic presence in Europe, for the effects of America's response to China's challenge to America's Asian interests on the U.S. contribution to NATO and to European security, and for European interests regarding Russia's actions in the Middle East.'-- Robert J. Art, Brandeis University, USA 'Tapping deep wisdom of veteran specialists from the United States, China and Europe and brilliance of newly minted experts from Europe and the United States, this volume explains well how acute US-China rivalry and weakened European unity foreshadow waning globalization and decline of the liberal international order and institutions that will be difficult to rebuild.'-Robert Sutter, George Washington University, USA 'Emerging from the activities of the sharp and careful editing pen of the three musketeers Wang, Oystein and Ross the chapters are eloquently producing a novel and original take on World Politics of the last decade seen from an American, European, and Chinese perspective, all positioned in a coherent global perspective. A rich and brisk analytical wind is blowing through the pages. A must read for students of how a new world of uncertainty, of new balances and a rising Asia is occurring.'---Bertel Heurlin, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
